Don’t worry though! We can not only solve the mystery of the stubborn file but show you how to fix it in the process.įirst, let’s explain why you couldn’t copy it in the first place: the flash drive’s file system. We can certainly understand your frustration: here you were all ready to copy the files and then it just ground to a halt with a relatively cryptic message.

What exactly does that error mean? Why can’t I put a 4.5GB file on a 64GB drive? Help! The little files (MP3s, documents, etc.) all transferred fine but I have some DVD ISO files on there and when it came time to copy them I got the error “The file ‘DVDBACKUP1’ is too large for the destination file system.” and the transfer fails. I recently purchased a 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive, plugged it into my computer, and started copying some files onto it I wanted to transfer to another computer. What gives? Read on as we show you how to solve your flash drive frustrations. You have a brand new high-capacity flash drive that can store more than the hard drive of your first three computers combined, but when you go to copy a large file it denies you.
